Moodle plugins directory: Grid Format | Moodle.org
Grid Format
A modular and visual course format. Hides all topics and creates a grid of icons (one for each topic) with short titles. Clicking on an icon brings up the content from the corresponding topic in a "lightbox" style display.
Support:
The format comes with NO support. Please see the 'Support' section in 'Readme.md' file that comes with the format. This is because the format is complex and I regret that I don't have the time / resources to freely assist with questions pertaining to specific enhancements / changes / knowledge improvement.
I will investigate genuine bugs and issue fixes in a timescale set by myself. When reporting issues you MUST clearly state the full version and release of both Moodle and the Grid format format as contained within their 'version.php' files - if not it takes me longer to figure out, often resulting in me asking for the details anyway and slowing the process of solving your problem down. It really helps to upload and describe in detail the issue you are having on the 'Course formats' forum.
Screen cast:
More to follow as new icons have been added....
Privacy API support starts with V3.3.0.5 for M3.3 and V3.4.0.4 for M3.4 where the API has been implemented in the minor release of Moodle.

Ok, to reiterate, these are two completely different concepts and as such I am not in a position to crow bar such a conflicting concept into the format - in fact it would be extremely difficult and indeed 'broken pencil territory' as it would confuse users beyond belief.
The format deals with sections, the each grid image is linked to a section. It would be confusing if some images linked to a section and others to a different URL. The format knows the number of images to use because of the number of sections. The images are stored in the section area of the course backup file. Need I go on?

Thank you for your response.
No that makes complete and perfect sense, thank you for explaining that to me.
Best wishes,

Possibly. I could look into this on a paid consultancy basis for you if you sent me a quick mock up of what exactly you want.
Kind regards,
Gareth
Possibly.

Thanks,
a) Alter the styles of the '#gridshadebox_content .activity' CSS sector.
b) No.
Cheers,

So we had 1 course using Grid Format this year, and many students keep asking if we can have more courses that 'look that way' -- so thanks for your hard work, you are making kids happy with the ease of navigation and nice organization of content : )
Any ideas what could be affecting this?
Thanks!

Somebody has changed the value of this: https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Course_formats#.22Show_only_one_section.22 setting.

Pragmatically I can only support core and my themes. If there are issues with other themes then that's something I'll only look at for a fee.
Kind regards,

I am just 5 months old moodle explorer.

Need help to resolve a small issue. If i leave the section without pausing the video, audio continues in the background.
Will be great if video stop on leaving the section.
